YES, IT'S REAL

The people who've seen this photo have asked, "Is that real?"

Yup. Passed him today on the bike. I didn't really need the sign to convince me to refrain from jumping the fence to pet him.

I went biking with our neighbors, finally.... hard-core roadies (in their 60's) who bike at least 3 days a week, and I've never been able to go b/c I was working at the daycare or, earlier, training for the marathon. Today the daycare was closed and I had no responsibilities, and we went for a WONDERFUL 30-mile ride.

I AM SO HAPPY!!! I had such a good time!! I saw Texas hill country, and Texas farm country, something other than my urban/suburban bike commute. No deadline, didn't have to be anywhere by any time! A PLEASURE ride!!!!! What a novelty!!

They're going out tomorrow with the Austin Riders Cycling Club, and I'm going to feed the livestock early and be ready to go by 7:45. We're planning the 45-mile route (there's a choice.) I've never been on a group ride! The most I've ever ridden with is 2 other people. This is going to be fun!

About Me

I'm a 62-year-old grandmother, biker, triathlete, backpacker, Christian, full-time RV'er with my husband of 401. I hope something I say will help someone in their own journey -- whether it's on the road, on the trail, on the bike, on the run, in an RV, in their life. This is how I do it. And you know what? I'm still figuring it all out as I go along. Come with me.
